Princess Yong'an invited herself to Jingxin Temple to chant sutras and pray for Empress Dowager Guo. This was something no one expected.
Especially Queen Mother Guo.
Princess Yong'an's biological mother was not favored. She had been living under the Queen Mother Guo since she was born and lived a cautious life.
Empress Dowager Guo was not very kind to Princess Yong'an, but she could not be said to be harsh either. All the honors a princess should have were given to her.
Of course, there is also Empress Dowager Guo's selfishness here.
There are many children of the same age as the eldest princess Yong'an among the direct branches of the Guo family.
Queen Mother Guo had long planned to marry Princess Yong'an to the Guo family.
Guo Kui was not the first choice at the beginning.
Queen Mother Guo first set her sights on a child from the second wife of the Guo family, who was also her nephew, but that child was a step ahead of Guo Kui. Before he was twenty years old, he had already made progress on his own and passed the imperial examination.
It was Mrs. Cheng'en who came to the palace to beg, saying that Guo Kui was his nephew after all, and that the child was frail and spoiled since he was a child. He was not good at literature and martial arts, so he had to ask his aunt to love him more.
Because of this, Empress Dowager Guo finally chose Guo Kui as her son-in-law for Princess Yong'an.
Originally, the various scandalous things Guo Kui had done in the past two years had already hit Queen Mother Guo in the face.
Empress Dowager Guo also relied on her old age to make it difficult for Princess Yong'an to have an attack.
This time, Princess Yong'an and the Ninth Prince killed Guo Kui's beloved concubine again, and beat Guo Kui into a rotten sheep's head. Queen Mother Guo was not only angry that her nephew was not living up to expectations, but she was also extremely dissatisfied with Princess Yong'an. ——
No matter how bad Guo Kui is, if you punish him with such a big fanfare, then it's not Guo Kui who's being beaten, but the face of Queen Mother Guo.
However, before Empress Dowager Guo could get angry, Princess Yong'an cleverly entered the palace to plead guilty.
Queen Mother Guo said that she was not sick, and Princess Yong'an immediately said that the Queen Mother was so worried about her and she had nothing to repay, so she invited herself to Jingxin Temple to chant sutras and pray for the Queen Mother.
And after leaving the palace, she quickly packed her things, put on all the princess's support, and went to Jingxin nunnery with great fanfare.
[Hey, eldest princess and godmother, there is no other way. 】
[The princess has entered the nunnery because of the Queen Mother, who can say that she is unfilial. 】
[The princess is sincerely filial, but who is the unfilial one? 】
[Of course it’s the ungrateful bastard from Cheng’en Palace. 】
Yan Jiaojiao snorted twice.
[The godmother did this not only to protect herself, but also to put Duke Chengen’s house on fire. 】
[Why are you sighing so helplessly? 】
She couldn't stand the way the Ninth Prince looked like a doormat.
The Ninth Prince raised his eyes, his wet eyes as innocent as a deer.
"I just feel that if I hadn't held back, my aunt wouldn't be like this."
[Then you blame me? 】
Yan Jiaojiao did not ignore it. The Ninth Prince got angry when he saw that his forehead was red.
"That's not true."
The Ninth Prince's face turned red and his eyes wandered around, not looking at Yan Jiao Jiao.
What, he, he is doing it for the dignity of the royal family!
[Oh, then if you feel really guilty, go to Jingxin Temple to chant sutras and pray for blessings. 】
Yan Jiaojiao kindly gave advice to the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince gritted his teeth: "...pig head!"
【You are a pig! Your whole family is a pig! 】
Yan Jiaojiao fought back.
She's not afraid.
Anyway, no one would believe her if she told others that she called the emperor and his family pig-headed.
The Ninth Prince reached out his hand in anger, "Give me back the pearl! Give me back the Nine Chains!"
Ever since he met Yan Jiaojiao, he has sent people to bring her stuff from time to time. The box of black pearls his father gave him last time was given to her to play with.
The result is a pig-headed evaluation!
The Ninth Prince was so angry that he almost cried!
Yan Jiaojiao was shocked.
[Are you a man? You want to get back what you give away? 】
The Ninth Prince retracted his hand silently, stopped talking, and continued to lie lazily on the table.
"Anyway, I just feel that Aunt Yongan has been implicated by me."
【really. She has endured it for so many years, how could she care about this moment. 】
[But you don’t have to blame yourself too much. 】
[The godmother is the eldest princess, no matter where you go, you cannot wrong her! 】
[Aren’t you worried? Let’s go to Jingxin Temple to see her together? 】
The Ninth Prince sighed, "That's all."
After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll go back and ask my mother to help prepare some things, and I'll go to Jingxin Temple tomorrow."
【I also need to go! 】
The two naughty children agreed to visit Princess Yongan the next day.
Ji didn't stop him. The prince was surrounded by guards. If he wanted to take Yan Jiaojiao with him, he could just go.
Anyway, Ji is happy to see success in making good friends with the prince.
Queen Xu was also happy to ask her son to see Princess Yong'an.
First of all, she had always had a good relationship with this sister-in-law.
Secondly, this also shows an attitude.
As a queen, she could not directly send people to deliver things to Princess Yong'an, nor could she visit in person - otherwise she would inevitably be dissatisfied with Queen Mother Guo.
But after a few years of childishness, I no longer have this worry.
Therefore, early the next morning, the Ninth Prince led a team of guards to pick up Yan Jiaojiao from the Nan'an Marquis Mansion and went to Jingxin Nunnery.
Also going with her was the maid Li Rui.
Li Rui is Ji's confidant and has always been careful and steady. She usually takes care of Yan Jiaojiao.
Jingxin Temple is located at the foot of Nanshan Mountain outside the city.
The scale is not very big, but with mountains and rivers at its back, the scenery is really good.
Princess Yong'an lives here, who dares to treat her as an ordinary Qingxiu person?
The visitor allocated the largest and best courtyard to Princess Yongan.
Surrounded by guards outside, people from the palace serve inside.
[I shouldn’t say it, my godmother lives here, it’s no different from the eldest princess’s mansion. 】
Yan Jiaojiao sighed with emotion.
[Maybe it will be more comfortable. 】
At least no matter how bastard Guo Kui was, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble to Jingxin An.
[Unfortunately, I can’t eat meat. 】
Meat lover Yan Jiaojiao felt sad when he thought about this.
The Ninth Prince clasped his hands behind his back like a grown-up and shook his head.
I thought to myself, the little ones are as big as diced beans, but they are just thinking about eating meat. If she dares to offend herself in the future, she will be punished by being forced to eat only green vegetables and radishes!
Princess Yong'an was holding a watering can and watering a rhododendron tree in the yard.
This flower tree is half a person tall, with lush branches and leaves. It is not difficult to imagine how beautiful it will be when it blooms.
"Why are you here?"
Princess Yongan was also very surprised when she saw her nephew and goddaughter.
"I came just in time. The vegetarian restaurant in Jingxin'an is famous throughout the capital. I asked someone to prepare fresh bamboo shoot soup, which is delicious."
Putting down the kettle, Princess Yong'an first rubbed her nephew's golden-crowned head, then grabbed Yan Jiaojiao and held him in her arms for a kiss.
"Auntie is fine."
Holding the crooked little golden crown, the Ninth Prince had to bow first.
Yan Jiaojiao has an advantage.
She didn't even know how to stand, she just leaned her face over, pursed her lips, and kissed Princess Yong'an on the face.
[My Godmother smells so good! 】
